  5. The history of “Lantmännen” won Publishing Award

"Berättelsen om Latmännen" (translated as "The Story of Lantmännen") won gold in this year's Publishing Prize, for the category Print Non Fiction Books. The jury's motivation reads: For creative layout, elegant typography, and skillful bookbinding.

Publishingpriset is an annual competition that since 1990 has recognized good editorial communication and marketing communication. The jury consisted of editors, journalists, photographers, graphic designers, film producers, and UX designers who reviewed, evaluated, and compared the competition entries.

The book, which we concepted, researched and wrote, was given its form by Studio Christopher West. It tells the story of agricultural cooperative Lantmännen from its founding in 1905 to today's modern food company with 10,000 employees worldwide and a number of well-known brands. 

We all worked on assignment by Lantmännen, whose archives we at the Centre manage since many years.
